| Aim: The course constitutes a basic course in optimization, with focus on the practical treatment of optimization problems in continuous variables. The course aims to give the students (i) an examplified orientation of some important classes of optimization problems and applications (ii) understanding of the mathematical theory upon which the modelling techniques and algorithms are based (iii) an ability to analyze and formulate optimization models taken from both economical and technical applications (iv) an ability to solve optimization problems by hand and to use computer software |
